Bloodborne II? Probably not. It looks like new Tenchu, or perhaps completely new IP. I already have Nioh Complete Edition on my sight and I don't know if I want two samurai souls-like games. Whatever, it already looks good! ... as a sneak peek, but still xD

Personally I'm glad that they are making remake of SotC, I've never played it which isn't the case with Demon's Souls - one of my favorite games. SotC looks awesome, also looks like God of War in terms of confronting giant enemies, but from what I've seen a player must think more and put some effort in defeating enemy.

The Old Hunters for Bloodborne is so awesome that I'm playing it again on NG+3, it's so hard and good. Probably the best piece of game from FS and top 3 of my gaming expieriences. It was hard work for From Software to beat Artorias of the Abyss for Dark Souls, but this expansion is even more epic and definitely the largest one.

I'm also playing Persona 5. I'm 32 hours into game and I'm at third palace where I already stole a treasure. Palaces have various gameplay mechanics which I really like, it doesn't feel the same every time you go to new palace.

Such a nice episode. I mean, it really was nice, because different. Symbolism is important in this manga here and there, but with last episodes it's nice to see Casca inner-self represented in such weird and yet awesome way. Miura rarely disappoints me in his works.

I can praise a little improvement in animation and drawing, a good opening and ending, but other things are just average or bad. I mean, you really can't bring for the people real experience while treating the most important moments in manga with that lack of interest. It has potential to be better than previous season, but we will see.

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, Horizon Zero Dawn and DLC for Bloodborne "The Old Hunters". Dragon's is yet to be completed for me, Horizon is pretty much explored as a game for me and I will be playing it rather occasionally, DLC for Bloodborne is really hard at New Game + and I have some serious problems, but in the end I will beat it.

I'm playing "The Old Hunters" now, it's little late, I know, I had this game already in 2015, but it was for such a nice price at Playstation Store and I couldn't resist. With DLC Bloodborne is a lot better, bosses are the hardest in the whole series, locations are awesome, their design is top quality, and monsters are really absolutely terrifying. 9.5/10 for DLC, also I prefer fast combat in Bloodborne rather than slow, but more strategic combat in Dark Souls.

Fight with Grunbeld looks great. Horse riding is ridiculous, so is killing hundreds of enemies. Some scenes are decent, like Skull Knight with his Beherit Sword, but in some scenes there are changes in appereance of characters, for example when Guts was about to leave Falcons, they were just looking different in manga, Griffith has armor in game, not like in manga. I'm still positive, because we will have some new scenes like Falcon-Zodd confrontation.

For me the character who had the best introduction was Griffith. It was dreamy like, strange I think. He appeared, looking at Guts from above and then he defeated him. When it comes to introducing characters, Griffith case will be always on my mind. Other examples of atmospheric introductions are of course Guts who was introduced to us as a badass. Then we have Zodd who terrified me when he was shown with bodies of Falcons laying on the ground. Skull Knight creeping in the night after Guts was very atmospheric too, indeed, this is why I don't like how they changed this in movies.

Guts and Griffith. Guts for obvious reason, but Griffith ... I don't like him, but still I must to admit how great villian he is, personally he is my favourite villian. I was thinking about Skull Knight, so the options after Guts were Griffith and Skull Knight, but somehow I choosed Griffith over SK.

I didn't say that Fantasia is bad. I praised this arc in other topic, I think it has potential to be my favourite Arc - because I love fantasy. Sea God was awesome, I agree, but it didn't take my emotions while reading it to another level, it was just for showing us what is World Transformation. The same goes with showing us Falconia - it's look fantastic - but once again - nothing really special about it, I didn't feel anything while reading it. Guts reaching Elfhelm is epic and this is why I said "beside last episodes". But when I compare last 30 episodes of Vinland Saga and Berserk, I think that 30 episodes of Vinland Saga were more interesting.

Personally I'm reading Berserk, Vinland Saga and Vagabond. I find Vinland Saga more interesting for now, especially in lastest chapters ( still chapter 131.5 was weird ), while Miura beside last episodes didn't draw something epic for something like ... 30 episodes? And last 30 episodes of Vinland Saga are epic, full of emotions and such content, cliffhangers are there as well.

Everyone knows the best game locations are ice locations and where's the best ice locatiion? Dark Souls II of course. That says it all.

And even if that's the case ( are you talking about Frozen Eleum Loyce? ) it will not change lack of good design in locations, enemies and bosses. I mean, do we really have something like Maiden Astraea, Dragon God, Old Monk or Storm King in Dark Souls II? Even knight bosses in Dark Souls II are sort of cheap designed while Penetrator is great with his movement and design. World in Demon's Souls is constructed logically, other worlds in Souls series are pure chaos and fact that they are connected doesnt change things for better. Dark Souls was good continuation of what Demon's Souls gave us, but I think only Bloodborne was somewhat good example of FS creativity, while Dark Souls II and Dark Souls III are lacking of new ideas, but we should agree with Walter that III is borrowing some decent elements from the first Dark Souls which is good.

Well, if Dark Souls 3 content was the actual first demon/dark game, then we would be saying the same about it as we are saying about demon souls. Its not that that dark souls 3 is a bad game, its definitely not, its just nothing new that we haven't seen so far. You can milk the same formula only so many times even when it comes to dark souls.

I love Demon's Souls because it has fair difficulty level. Dark Souls II sometimes was forcing absurd difficulty level on us, while Demon's Souls was just fair and this is why I loved that game. Dark Souls III was the easiest one for me and it was a problem.

I love the notion of minimalism in Demon's Souls, FS later tried hard to implement big knights with big swords and even bigger knights with bigger swords, giant knights with giant swords - but I didn't like it. Demon's Souls is the most minimalist and by far - best designed Souls. For example, which lava location in Souls series is the best? Of course Demon's Souls.

Yes, you are pretty much correct, II was without his involvment as a director, so the next Dark Souls could be similar. Personally I'm waiting for Bloodborne II, I love Lovecraft so Bloodborne is the one I prefer.

Dark Souls III is better than II but it's really bad game considering how good Demon's Souls and Dark Souls were. It's just the easiest one which is bad thing, and graphics aren't really improved. I think it's a good game overall, but not comparing it to Demon's Souls, Dark Souls or Bloodborne. I am happy that FS will not make Dark Souls anymore, because they've done everything they can with this title.

I'm ok with new adaptation for 2017, I hope it will be better than 2016. If they just follow manga and don't do things too fast, I think it could be decent anime. From episode 4 in 2016 adaptation they were just following manga, beside animation and drawing style the biggest problem was pace of scenes from manga, some episodes were really decent, just following manga with good pace, but some were doing things too fast. If they can do it better, I will be happy.

Wow, such emotions on the last pages. Art was beautiful, it seems they were hallucinated by spores. I can't wait for 2017. New drawing style for Casca dream is good, I think she see the world in dreams relativly more simple, because of lacks of sanity in her mind, probably something like children dreams.
